I cannot get the Scarlett 6i6 to work with Cubase 7.5 since I upgraded to El Capitan. Interface works fine with all other programs, audacity etc. It must be a Cubase issue. The interface is recognised in Cubase, and is fully configurable but no sound in our out. I have tried the suggestion on the Focusrite site but no luck Can anyone help? ---

Hi, First of all I have to mentioned Cubase 7.5 is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.11. Double check the VST Connections \> Outputs, please. What Sample Rate do you use in your projects? Please, test it with 44.1 or 48kHz Sample Rate. ---

Yes, have checked all those things. Cubase 7.5 works fine under El Capitan for me, runs great using internal sound. It’s just the Scarlett I cannot get to work with it ---

Hi, Sorry to hear that you’re having some problems. As Martin mentioned, Cubase 7.5 is not supported by Steinberg on OS X 10.11 - Cubase 8 has just been made compatible via an update which solves a similar problem some users were encountering with that version with Focusrite interfaces. If you’re not intending on upgrading to Cubase 8 in the immediate future, a workaround that we have seen to fix this issue on a number of systems is to create an aggregate device is OS X. To do this, go to Applications \> Utilities \> Audio MIDI Setup. Click the ‘+’ button in the bottom left corner of the screen, then select ‘Create Aggregate Device’. Select the tickbox next to only the Scarlett 6i6. Now, in Cubase, go to Devices \> Device Setup. Click ‘VST Audio System’ on the left, then select your new Aggregate Device rather than the 6i6 (even though they’re essentially the same thing). Now test again - has that fixed the problem?

Hi, I has recently downloaded Audacity in my Windows 7 (old version, yes) and I can’t configurate (doesn’t works) with my external sound cart Focusrite 6i6. I would like to record one flux audio from internet and after treat this audio file in Cubase 7. I readed a lot of sites but it doesn’t work. Can you explained to me how to configurate both Audacity and Focusrite ? Thanks a lot ! Best regards, Julian
